Chapter 2686
Wen Zhihong's idea is actually very similar to Andao Shi's. The theme is the word "drag". Wen Zhihong had already found out clearly that this fleet would go to Japan next, and there would be many subsequent tasks to be performed in Japan, so it would not be delayed in Busan for too long, and it would have to leave sooner or later.
In this case, let's use some means to deal with it first and give the Haihan Mission a justifiable explanation. Wen Zhihong believed that as long as they did enough work to make the Haihan mission feel that their goal had been achieved, they would naturally leave with satisfaction.
But these young Haihan officials were obviously not as easy to deal with as he imagined. Shi Chengwu did not spend too much time on these files and wanted orders, and gave a clear response: "Master Wen, with all due respect, I only saw The government's handling of old cases has not found any measures that can effectively improve the local security situation. It is very likely that after we leave, everything here will return to the original state, and the situation of Haihan citizens in Busan will not be fundamentally different. Change.”
Wen Zhihong suddenly felt something bad when he heard that his tone was wrong.
Yesterday, Ahn Do-seok visited and told him that the situation might be troublesome. The Haihan people would not be satisfied with the settlement of old cases, but would take this opportunity to demarcate a special area in Busan to implement autonomy. At that time, Wen Zhihong only felt that Andao Shi was a bit alarmist. What the Haihan mission requested to investigate were just some ordinary public security cases, and they were so troubled that they had to draw a boundary.
Shi Chengwu continued: "The main purpose of our visit to Busan this time is to strive for due protection for the local Haihan citizens, such as the most basic conditions and an environment that can ensure their personal safety. But the current situation is obviously It’s not ideal. There are still endless public security cases against Haihan people. I can understand the difficulties faced by local governments, so we want to provide some methods to help local governments deal with this problem.”
Wen Zhihong smiled and said: "Why do you need to worry about these trivial matters? I will definitely take more measures to ensure the safety of your citizens in Busan."
"Master Wen, this is no small matter." Wang Anguo, who was sitting next to him, took over and said, "According to the files you provided, in the past five years, there have been a total of 107 local cases involving our country, and the vast majority of them The victims in these cases are all Chinese nationals, and the number of casualties in these cases exceeds fifty. This number has even greatly exceeded the casualties of the Haihan Army stationed in your country in the past five years. This means that Busan is a high-risk area. , unable to provide effective protection to the Haihan people who come here, and if this continues, it will definitely affect the normal exchanges between our two countries.”
"This situation has attracted great attention from the Executive Committee of our country, and it has ordered that it be handled properly as soon as possible to prevent similar incidents from happening again." Shi Chengwu then moved out the banner of the Executive Committee again, indicating that the matter was not a matter of use. It is a temporary initiative of the group, but comes from the will of the executive committee.
Wen Zhihong asked carefully: "What good advice do you have?"
Shi Chengwu made a gesture, and the adjutant next to him came to the door to say hello. Two Haihan soldiers immediately brought in a shelf. Wen Zhihong could clearly see that there was a local map of Busan on the shelf. The coastline, streets, and urban distribution in the map are all clearly visible. In terms of detail, it is even better than the official map of the Protectorate.
Shi Chengwu stood up, walked to the map, and stretched out his hand to draw an area on the map: "According to the information we have, most of the Haihan people currently stationed in Busan, as well as the industries of our country's commercial institutions in Busan, are Concentrated on the west bank of Busan Port, in order to facilitate management, I suggest that this area be designated as our country's exclusive development zone, and autonomy in infrastructure, government affairs and public security can be implemented in this area, which can reduce the work pressure of the local government. , and it can effectively protect the interests of our people, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds. What do you think, Mr. Wen? ”
The Haihan people had even prepared the map of Busan and the preset range. In Wen Zhihong's view, this was undoubtedly a premeditated plan. Only then did he truly understand why An Daoshi said yesterday that this matter would be very troublesome. Wen Zhihong's eyes secretly glanced at Andao Shi, but Andao Shi remained silent, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Wen Zhihong was not a rookie in officialdom, and he understood Ando Shi's plan instantly. Now that the Haihan people have made up their minds to complete this matter, if Andao Shi expresses his resistance, his subsequent errands will not be easy to handle. And someone has to take responsibility for it afterwards. Wen Zhihong and the local government will definitely not be able to escape, but Andao Shi obviously does not want to be included in the list of scapegoats, and his attitude at this time is to draw a clear line with Wen Zhihong.
Wen Zhihong had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I am sorry that I cannot make the decision without permission. I must report it to the court and wait for His Majesty's decree."
Shi Chengwu had long expected that he would be so evasive, and immediately answered: "Master Wen, there is no need to be embarrassed, your court has been notified of this matter, and His Majesty the King's decree should be delivered to Busan soon, so the relevant preparations are You can start now.”
Wen Zhihong heard what he meant and wanted to cook the raw rice into cooked rice. It would be fine if the imperial court agreed to the matter, but if the imperial court rejected Haehan's request, and he succumbed to Haehan's pressure and agreed to the matter in Busan, then I'm afraid it wouldn't just be a problem that would be difficult to explain to his superiors afterwards. It's possible that even the black gauze hat on his head will not be able to be kept.
This time, Shi Chengwu did not wait for Wen Zhihong to give a clear answer and ordered: "Please come in, Mr. Fu and Boss Zhang."
A moment later, Fu Guoqing and Zhang Fengchu appeared in the conference room. They have been informed of the general plan and have been on standby at the mission's residence today. After the mission has had a thorough discussion with the local officials, they will be asked to come on stage to explain the specific implementation plan.
After receiving Shi Chengwu's instructions, Fu Guoqing said: "My lords, I would like to briefly explain the process of establishing the Haihan Zone in Busan."
First of all, the local Haihan Chamber of Commerce will take the lead in funding this matter to form a security team to serve the local Haihan people. A management committee will also be established to coordinate all aspects of affairs, including communication with local governments. Until the members of the management committee are selected, Fu Guoqing and Zhang Fengchu will temporarily manage relevant work together.
After delineating the specific area, the management committee will issue relevant autonomy rules. There have long been mature routines available in this regard, which basically follow the relevant laws of Haihan, and the management committee will exercise law enforcement power within the zone.
